Mitchell Meissner has given a verbal commitment to play for Rice University. Meissner also made unofficial visits to Davidson, William and Mary, Pepperdine, San Diego and Loyola Marymount. He received offers from Davidson and William and Mary.

Meissner, from San Antonio, chose Rice because of the opportunity to play for head coach Justin Emil.

“He is an excellent role model and dedicated to growing their program,” Meissner said. “Rice is the perfect balance of golf and excellent academics.”

So far this year, Meissner has posted two top-10 finishes in AJGA events. He won the San Antonio Junior Championshp, and also led his Alamo Heights High School golf team to the 4A State Championship.
